Op-Ed | We can no longer look away: It's time New York holds sex buyers accountable

The fact is that the majority of people in the sex trade mostly young women, some barely out of their teens were coerced, tricked, or trafficked, or forced by socio-economic circumstances as children and young adults into a life that they would never have chosen for themselves. Many remain trapped, even if they can escape their trafficker, because they don't have other options.

The plan provided for daylighting corners - a treatment that increases visibility in the crosswalk - as well as painted pedestrian islands (I would have preferred cement, but anything is better than what we have now). Travel lanes would have been narrowed, which is an effective way to lower speeds.

From day one, our administration's North Star has been public safety. We have gone to work to sweep out crime and illegal activities from our neighborhoods, and because of this work, we are currently in our eighth consecutive quarter of crime reductions. That means for almost two straight years since January 2024 crime has consistently declined each quarter in New York City. But public safety is about more than just policing. To make sure our communities feel safe and are safe, we must make smart, upstream investments that prevent crime in the first place. We must invest in our young people and provide them with safe places away from gun violence. Places to just be kids, and to play and build trust with law enforcement.
